After the Oval Office scandal, British officials have been training Volodymyr Zelensky to “talk” to Trump, and he is expected to use this during negotiations at the White House.

This was reported in The Telegraph.

The Ukrainian side was closely worked by the head of the National Security Advisor, Keir Starmer, and one of the most influential politicians, Jonathan Powell. He taught Zelensky how best to achieve his goals in interacting with Trump in the “MAGA” style.

Now Zelensky often begins conversations with American interlocutors with words of gratitude for all the US support in countering Russia.

Starmer’s advisers believe they have found the optimal strategy for influencing Trump.

Its key principles are as follows:

  • not to react to every provocative statement:
  • not to try to publicly corner the US president:
  • publicly praise Trump:
  • behind the scenes, use influence to push him into comfortable positions.

An example of such rhetoric is Starmer’s statement after Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, which did not contain condemnation, but rather praise for the White House’s attempts to ensure peace.

Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a visit to the White House , where he plans to discuss the details of a potential trilateral meeting with Donald Trump.

As is known, on August 18, in Washington, US President Donald Trump will first meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky , and later they will be joined by European leaders and the NATO Secretary General.

By the way, European allies plan to support Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to the United States in order to strengthen his position in negotiations with Donald Trump and avoid possible conflicts in the White House.
